His body was found Wednesday afternoon after members of a SWAT team coaxed the 3-year-old outside and sent a remote-controlled camera inside the home in Lockport, about 30 miles north of Buffalo.

The incident began about 9:45 a.m. when the Tucker's 40-year-old wife, LeAnne Tucker, was seen running from the home with a gunshot wound to her face. Officers surrounded the home, fearing a hostage situation involving the child.
